This makes the fifth crewed mission from the NASA Commercial Crew program which lifted off from Kennedy Space Center at noon Eastern Time. Traveling are two NASA astronauts, one Japanese and one Russian cosmonaut aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule which took a ride aboard a Falcon 9 rocket lifting off from Launch Complex 39A.

This was the first time a Russian cosmonaut flies aboard a U.S. spacecraft since Nickolai Burdarin flew on STS-113 in 2002.

This mission is planned for 145 days, coming back in February, where the astronauts will take part in experiments and life at the International Space Station.

WEATHER: There is more than a 90 percent chance for this launch to "GO"

Following the launch, the Falcon 9 rocket landed back on Earth, over the barge located a few hundred miles east of Cape Canaveral over the Atlantic called Just Read The Instructions.
